Your coverage. Your audience. Your platform.
BoomPress runs your whole site and helps you build a community of fans who come straight to you, not through someone else's algorithm. Publishing, live scores, game-day comments, memberships, newsletters, apps and ads: one team builds it, hosts it and picks up the phone when you need it.
No plugins to patch. No servers to babysit on game day.

Everything a sports publication needs, in one place
Most independent sites are held together by a CMS, a dozen plugins, a paywall vendor, a comments vendor, a newsletter tool and an ad tag. BoomPress replaces the whole stack.

- Drafts, review and scheduling
- Team, league and player tagging
- SEO, sitemaps and structured data built in
Community
Build a community of fans who come back every day, and especially on game day.
- Game-day comment threads with moderation tools
- Reader accounts and followed teams
- Newsletters, push alerts and apps
Earn
Turn readers into revenue with memberships and a fully managed ad stack, without a pile of vendor contracts.

- Managed ads: Google Ad Manager, AdX, Prebid
- Audience and ad reporting in one dashboard
Build your community. Don't get lost in the algorithm.
Social feeds and search change their rules overnight, and reach you rent from them can disappear just as fast. BoomPress gives your readers a home on your own site, so the relationship belongs to you.
- Game-day comment threads. Fans argue, celebrate and come back for the next game, right under your coverage.
- Reader accounts and followed teams. Know who your readers are and what they care about.
- A direct line to every fan. Newsletters, apps and push alerts reach readers without waiting on a feed.
- Members who stick around. Your most loyal commenters are your best membership prospects.
Your biggest nights are our busiest nights too
Traffic on a sports site isn't a steady line. It jumps at kickoff, peaks in the third period and crashes at the final whistle.
- Scales ahead of the game. Capacity goes up before puck drop, not after the site slows down.
- Watched live. We monitor game-night traffic as it happens and step in before readers notice.
- Fast pages under load. Edge caching keeps articles and scores quick when everyone shows up at once.
